Camino Agrícola is an elevated metro station on the Line 5 of the Santiago Metro, in Santiago, Chile. It is similar in design as the adjacent stations. The station was opened on 5 April 1997 as part of the inaugural section of the line, from Baquedano to Bellavista de La Florida.[1]

The station originally had two side platforms 108 m (354 ft) long and accommodated five-car trains, but in 2012 these were extended to 135 m (443 ft) and seven-car lengths.[2]
